London photo roundup
London was the first city in Europe that I ever set foot in. I enjoyed it, especially as a city that is full of historic places whilst being very modern and alive. While I wish I could have stayed longer and seen more of its famous sights, I saw enough to know it is an […]

Paris photo roundup
I was only in Paris for a few days, but wherever I went, from the famous attractions like the Louvre and Notre Dame, to taking walks to the National Library and along the river, the views were very enjoyable. It’s obvious that a lot of effort is put into preserving not just famous historic buildings […]
